Description
The oil pump shaft gear is used to circulate oil throughout the engine to ensure proper lubrication of moving parts and reduce friction and wear. It consists of a set of interlocking gears, one of which is a drive gear connected to the engine crankshaft and the other a driven gear that rotates and pumps the oil.
Attributes
- Helps reduce friction and dissipate heat, and minimizes wear on moving parts
- Prevents dry running and reduces the risk of engine damage
Applications
The oil pump shaft gear is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure in the transmission, enabling seamless shifting and smooth power transfer.
Compatible Equipment
- Dozers: D8R
